Everyone knows we live in a modern, fast and digital world – the planet is changing, more and more people are connecting through social networking and more and more people are eating snacks from vending machines. Confused? It’s clearly true, there are more vending machines for crisps, chocolates, sweets and fizzy drinks then ever, especially in the UK. We are so busy and consumed with our daily lives we have adopted buying snacks on the move like sugar bag filled Coke-a-Cola and Sunny D that we have stopped to think about the long term effects.

Eating slowly is recommended for health. Slow eating reduces the consumption of food, as it postpones much of the meal to a time when the absorption of nutrients begin to produce physiological signals of satiety (feeling full). By taking your time eating, not only will the food you have eaten release signals to make you feel and think your full, it will help you relax, sleep better and unwind – you can appreciate your food and find “me time” to contemplate – gain patience and humility.

Slow eating will help you with chewing your food and this will result in the exercise of your jaws mixing with saliva with food, hence a complete efficient digestion taking place, food particles are cut into smaller pieces, not requiring much churning in the stomach or intestine.

Everyone always asks about ways to keep your body in shape. Here’s three ways you can keep both your mind and body in top shape.

There’s now yet another reason to keep yourself in shape – you become smarter. The University of California (UC) conducted a research study that found people who had higher body mass had smaller brains. This included memory and planning areas of the brain.

I want to show three quick and simple ways to boost your brain, let’s face the music – if you spend 45 minutes on a treadmill four times a week, for the next 6 months – that is an average of 180mins a week which is 720mins a month which is 4320 mins half a year, which is 8640 mins of running a year. That is a 144 hours and about 6 days of running non-stop. The amount of calories you can burn, the amount of endorphins you can release is incredible. Being fit means thinking fit – I know that makes no sense, but here is a statement someone said to me at the gym: “If you look good, you feel good”. Read more »
